I have my volume up and nothing that would prevent notifications from sounding off. some of my texts messages do not ring! no rhyme or reason. sometimes they do ring and other times they don't. it's extremely frustrating!

Make sure Do Not Disturb is OFF.

If it is ON, it will prevent certain notifications from ringing through, including contacts who are not set as favorites.

Make sure you have not inadvertently triggered a mode or routine that has limited your notifications in some way.

If none of these things are enabled, you can check if some individual app notifications have been set to silent by going to Settings > Notifications > App Notifications.

You can have even more fine-tuned control by enabling notification categories.
Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings > Manage notification categories for each app

Hope this helps!

unfortunately it doea not. Do not disturb is off. SOME of my texts ring and some do not. all from the same person or others. I've checked my settings 100x just to be sure.

Just my 2 cents on sounds or alerts setting for notifications try choosing another tone and see if that works also in sound settings at top check where your volume are set at they maybe too low

Do you happen to have the chat open when your contact responds? If the chat is open, you will not get subsequent notification sounds from that chat, only a slight "pop". I am unsure whether having an individual chat open will prevent sounds from other chats coming through, as I rarely get notifications at the same time.
